Harry F. Wolcott draws on his dual perspective as an educator and an anthropologist to provide a unique and penetrating look at the dynamics of a federally funded research and development project and to analyze what happened when university researchers and school district administrators attempted to introduce an experimental planning and evaluation system in an operating school district.

What constitutes better schooling for today's youth? In 1984 educational theorist Theodore R. Sizer formulated nine Common Principles to answer this question and launched The Coalition of Essential Schools, an organization of schools attempting to change their own structure, curriculum, pedagogy, and power relations according to Sizer's Principles. This important book, the first comprehensive look at Coalition schools, charts the course of reform at eight charter member schools. Donna E. Muncey and Patrick J. McQuillan, experts in anthropology as well as education, conducted a five-year ethnographic study to understand what happened in Coalition schools. The authors looked at curricular and pedagogical developments; how changes affected individual students, teachers, administrators, and other school personnel; and how American cultural beliefs influenced efforts to change.

First Published in 1985. The book is a series of articles on the organisation of educational research and its impact on policies and practices. Contributions are from leading educational researchers and from those who use the evidence produced in administration and schools. Throughout the book the emphasis is on the way organisational and methodological changes within educational research have produced stresses within the academic community and between it and the consumers of their work. In particular, the contributions are concerned with the attempts by researchers to use interpretive approaches to secure more validity in evidence while the audiences for research retain more traditional views of the methods used.

In this long-anticipated second edition of The Art of Fieldwork, prominent anthropologist Harry F. Wolcott updates his original groundbreaking text, which both challenges and petitions anthropology and its practitioners to draw not only on the traditional precepts of science, but also on the richness of artistry in the collection, interpretation, and expression of fieldwork data. Each of the original chapters have been thoughtfully revised to reflect the past nine years of anthropological development. Combined with a new final chapter, this refreshing text makes an exciting reentry into the ongoing debate of the processes, challenges, and rewards of fieldwork methodology. Researchers in qualitative methods and field methods--and fieldworkers across disciplines--will find this well-crafted, approachable book a thought-provoking read.

Despite deans playing critical roles in education, little is known about the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed for the job, or the practical dilemmas they face on an almost daily basis. Each chapter of this international collection opens the role up for examination and critique, developing a deeper understanding of what it means to be a dean, and offering insights into the transition into the role, managing the daily demands and expectations of it, and what it means to exit the deanship. The book brings being a dean and the leadership inherent in the position into sharp focus based on international perspectives on doing the job.

First Published in 1988. We live in reactionary times, at the time of writing the hard right is established in the UK and America. At the same time Britain has given birth to a number of progressive forces — the left-wing borough councils, the anti-nuclear movement including its impact at Greenham Common, an established women's movement, the miners' strike, the uprisings in the inner cities and the anti-racist struggle, while in America we have seen the advance of the Rainbow coalition and other progressive movements. Whatever the way forward, for the left, there is a fundamental need for a re-evaluation of basic Marxist scholarship but in the light of the significance of these historical and current realities. This book aims to play some small part in that process. The central focus is, of course, education but the issues raised range far wider.
